This wee bitty, who has dark curly hair and large round brown eyes, is screaming in pain after having been tear gassed by radicalised illegal settlers. Her distress is such that one can see all of her tiny baby teeth. Her sweater is pink and fluffy and has a red heart. Her pants are black. A loved one is gently holding her hands to prevent her from rubbing her eyes, which can cause injury after a tear gas attack.

"While the populations of Europe rebounded following the devastating population decline associated with the Black Death, there was no such rebound for the indigenous populations of the Caribbean. He concludes that, even though the Spanish were aware of deadly diseases such as smallpox, there is no mention of them in the New World until 1519, meaning perhaps they didn't spread as fast as initially believed, and that unlike Europeans, the indigenous populations were subjected to slavery, exploitation, and forced labor in gold and silver mines on an enormous scale."

“'Chinese people love watching how other places are not as good as China,' Cheng told Rest of World, arguing that he had portrayed Africa in a truthful way. 'If you film some advanced stuff here, people might not like watching. They would rather see lives that are worse than their own.'”
